Genie Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 I wonder if there’s multi-trip people going around and around causing the queue to be extra long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I enjoy the fallacy that the Royal family stay out of politics, or that the power they have is only ceremonial. Sure they don't do much out loud, but on the quiet in the background on matters of real estate, taxes etc they have a very powerful and direct route into policy makers that they are only too happy to use. Also breaking the law as a Royal is pretty much ok. Just imagine what would happen to you if you drove into a bus stop full of waiting passengers. They don't care much for politics it's true, but when it comes to cold hard cash they are happy to dip a toe in the water. One example Quote A series of government memos unearthed in the National Archives reveal that Elizabeth Windsor’s private lawyer put pressure on ministers to alter proposed legislation to prevent her shareholdings from being disclosed to the public. Following the Queen’s intervention, the government inserted a clause into the law granting itself the power to exempt companies used by “heads of state” from new transparency measures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what she would have wanted they'll just go to ticket touts buying them all and flogging them for £100 a pop. kinda feel that's the one big event British custom that's lacking here "buy or sell tickets...tickets for the queen...buy or sell" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they disperse into side streets before springing back to the queue at the restart? You ever been at Euston station waiting for your platform to be allocated? It's gonna be like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what she would have wanted she's being buried in Windsor and I think the tomb will be accessible to the public , all be it it would just be a marble slab you are looking at ... but that's' probably better than paying respects to an empty coffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
